Operation Christmas Child & Pack MORE Shoeboxes at Once. See Description below for List & Links!

Let me know if you try this packing style for yourself or your group. Buying in bulk helps save time and money! Having a packing strategy that's the same every time (no matter which age group or gender I'm packing for) helps me get more in each shoebox. Plus I'm less drained mentally when I don't have to recreate the wheel with every shoebox I make. Below is the strategy I use for every shoebox now. I hope it works for you!

1. Pack these FLAT Things first:
-Lovie
Washcloth
Bandana
Filled Pencil Pouch
Coloring Book (Half Size Downloaded from www.blessingsinashoebox.com )*
Sketch Book (blank paper folded in half and stapled together with or without a cover)
Half Composition Book (or full size composition book/spiral notebook)*
T-Shirt can be folded into a rectangle and placed flat at this point too.

2. Pack these things next:
-Spoon and Toothbrushes placed along a bottom edge of shoebox
-Crayons or colored pencils on end along an edge
-Cup with Ball and socks or underwear. Alternatively, stuff water bottle with as much as you can.
-Backpack/Tote rolled up with a rubber Band. Place it along an end wherever it fits best.

3. Next put your Wow Item in the box.
Place the Big Wow item in the box and arrange other toys (medium and small) wherever they will fit.

4. Lastly, Add Little Gems in the empty spaces to finish filling the shoebox.

*If full size, lean full size coloring book/notebook against the back side of the shoebox.

Are you interested in an eternal relationship with Jesus Christ? Believe in Jesus, admit you have sinned and ask him to forgive your sins. Trust Him and receive him as your Savior and Lord. Read all about God in the Bible, starting in Genesis with creation to understand God and sin and the punishment for sin. Also, read the New Testament to understand what Jesus did, so that we could have forgiveness and redemption from sin. The Bible reveals God's plan for his children and the world. It tells us that Jesus will come soon for his children and we get to live forever with him!
We are blessed to have the Bible so we can know all about him.

I am very glad I can participate with Operation Christmas Child to bring the good news of Jesus and eternal life to the children around the world who have never heard about him. We are making a difference for eternity!
